Of the small/medium-size companies, St. Joseph's is one of just a few nonprofit organizations to have received the award.

"Work at St. Joseph's is often referred to as a calling, rather than simply a job," said Human Resources Director Katie Kirkpatrick. "It is St. Joseph's community approach to healing, involving staff from all departments, that has lead to the agency's success in the addiction treatment field, and as a sustaining member of the Tri-Lakes community. We are most pleased to receive the Best Companies designation, as the award serves to further affirm our commitment to hope and healing."

St, Joseph's also received Best Companies recognition in 2009, and in 2011.
